Bug #6123: Properly gemify BigDecimal
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6123
Author: Vit Ondruch
Status: Rejected
Priority: Normal

Target version:
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30) [x86_64-linux]
BigDecimal is available as a gem, however, the version in Ruby is crippled. It just tries to mimic gems, but it is not gem. So currently:
$ ruby -e "puts require('bigdecimal')"
true
$ ruby --disable-gems -e "puts require('bigdecimal')"
true
However, I would expect following behavior:
$ ruby -e "puts require('bigdecimal')"
true
$ ruby --disable-gems -e "puts require('bigdecimal')"
fail
The point is that the bigdecimal.so is still in Ruby's load path, although it should be managed by RubyGems if it is gem. Moreover, if the independent gem in RubyGems.org would be updated, it will never be used. Please consider fixing it.
